SIMMONS1
REGULATOR
Tlio Symptome of Liver Complaint are
uneasiness and pain in the side. Some?
times the pain is in the shoulder, and is
mistaken for rheumatism. The stomach
^is affected with loss of appetite and sick
less, bowels in general costive, and
sometimes alternating with lux. The.
head is troubled with pain, and dull,;
heavy sensation, considerable loss of
memory, accompanied with painful sen?
sation of having left undono something
which ought to have been done. Often
complaining of weakness, debility and
low spirits. Sometimes many of the
I above symptoms attend the disease, and
'at other tiinea, very few of them; but the
Liver is generally the organ most in?
volved.

ing from Torpid Liver, or "Biliousness," and nothing will cure you so
